Fitbit Versa Battery draining in 1-2 days if that.

[Tristannyc]

I’ve had the versa for a little under a year or so and the battery just now after this new app update doesn’t last longer than a day or two sometimes even dying in the middle of the night on a 45% charge. 

I have tried all the troubleshooting steps recommended in other posts and here “Please check out and try the tips that are listed in this help article in order to improve the battery life of your Versa. After this, monitor the battery behavior of your watch and see if it lasts longer.”

Nothing seems to make it better. this is why I switched from the Apple Watch to the Versa for the battery. But this is no longer working properly. Help please.

Are you still having this issue? My Versa is just a few months old and has not been holding a charge well. Since purchase it zooms to 99% quickly but takes almost an hour to get to 100. But the. Drops quickly. Just this weekend I did a 15 minute charge when it was at 45%. By 1 pm it was down to 4% and I had t done much.

I am also having this issue (since the update).  My versa is just over one year old and is no longer covered by warranty.

Mine is just a few months old. I’m doing the battery drain test and will see what happens. If they (cust service)don’t help or the problem persists I will probably have to defect and go to Apple Watch as much as I don’t want to. If I’m going to have battery drain I’m at least going to have some features I know I’ll like.

I was within the warranty period. Was offered either a replacement of it or a 50% off any other item. I got the replacement.
